No description on equipment stats

dark-souls-2

I have some idea of the stat icons and what they mean like poison resistance etc. But for everything else it's a complete guess. No text, and so far after searching online, nothing posted on it. Anyone have a link or a breakdown of the stat icons actually are on the equipment status menu of the game?

In case you didn't know, you can press Select (on PS3) or Back (on Xbox 360) to bring up a cursor that you can move around the screen to see a name and short explanation for every icon, on almost every menu and status screen that uses such icons.

Example:

DS2 icon help popup screenshot

If you're looking for a detailed breakdown of the actual math behind each stat, then:

That information isn't in the game, in general; and
You'd probably be better off making dedicated questions for each major stat group that you're concerned about, because there are simply too many different stats in the game to be reasonably addressed within the scope of a single question.

Dark Souls 2 – How to Sell Equipment

There is an NPC named Gavlan that will purchase items and equipment from the player. He is the only NPC that serves this function.

He is initially found in

No-Man's Wharf

but moves once you've spoken to him. This means that at each location until the final one, you'll only be able to sell to him once.

The second location is:

Harvest Valley

The third and final location is:

Doors of Pharros

What stats do different damage types scale off of

I did some wiki research and I think I have it figured out:

Normal: STR and/or DEX depending on weapon
Fire: INT and FAI equally 
Lightning: FAI
Magic: INT
Dark: Lower of INT or FAI
Poison: Slight DEX 
Bleed: Slight DEX 
Mundane: Lowest stat 
Raw: removes scaling but adds high base damage

Sources: dark, fire, Other
